re: yes indeed

It doesn't hurt, Geezer. It's an empty argument. By this logic ...

If you've never had an abortion (and that includes million of women) you should stay out of abortion policy.

If you've never run a business, you should not be setting corporate tax rates.

If you've never been a teacher, you have nothing to add to the debate on education in America.

If you are not a doctor, you should not be planning what the nation's health care system should be like.

If you've never played professional football, you should not be setting the bylaws of the National Football League (and probably not profess your know-nothing opinions).

We can play this game all day, if you'd like. But I must laugh that the anti-war crowd -- especially those who have never served in the military, and, in fact, have contempt for the military -- are never held to the same standard. They are "chicken-chickens," so why should they have any influence on our war policy?
